(UEFA) Football Thread - Football not Soccer

Yeah so we're told. If there's any progress at our place then it's positively snail-paced incremental improvement year upon year. By our current standards we should hope to challenge for the playoffs in about another decade.....

I'd pay good money to see Wolves and Blackburn go down, t'would be positively hilarious!

I'm actively willing those two to go down. They, Bristol and Peterborough have been the worst teams I've seen (live) this season and deserve it. Bonus factors: Darren Ferguson is incredibly unlikable; Wolves going down would be hilarious; Blackburn going down might actually see the end of the Venkys and help them in the long run.... and would be hilarious; Bristol City getting relegated is beyond hilarious.

There was a bit of fortune around a couple of the goals (Gomez looked offside, just, and how was Mueller's bodycheck NOT a foul during Robben's goal?!), but the scoreline really didn't flatter Bayern, they were utterly brilliant from start to finish. TBH, I don't really think it matters who makes it out of the other SF, Dortmund or Real, I can't see either of them beating Bayern.

Edit: Just had a quick look at Marca, apparently only three of Bayern's goals were 'illegal'.....!

I don't know, Gomez may have been offside, but disagree about the foul at the third goal. The German commentator I was listening to was also very upset about it and called it clearly illegal, but I'm not so sure. Basically the Barca player just ran into him, I mean he can't disappear exactly. If I had been a ref I would have let it stand.
